TIP 1: Now that the
snow is flying in my neck of the woods, my bottle of citronella can be put
away...but once those pesky mosquitos and gnats return, this oil is one of my
favorites for keeping those itchy "beasts" at bay! I like to put a
couple drops in my hand, along with lavender, purification and lemongrass and
rub it all over my exposed skin...and clothes! Some days it works like a charm,
and some days the "beasts" are mightier than the oil...but I prefer
to start with this over the heavy chemicals in mainstream bug spray!

TIP 2:Historically,
this oil was used to deodorize and sanitize. You could add it to some water in a spray bottle to
clean surfaces like kitchen counters and bathrooms.

TIP 3: Citronella is also a nice oil to help clear the mind.
Place a few drops in a diffuser and see if it lifts the fog in your mind!

TIP 4:Sometimes
citronella has been used to cool a
person off when they are too warm. I would
start by putting a drop or two on the bottom of your feet!

TIP 5:This
is also a great oil to put on the bottom of your feet when you are tired and sweaty. It
has the ability to energize you...and it's also nice to keep your feet and shoes
from smelling too bad! =)

* Not all oils or oil companies are the same! Young Living oils are THE ONLY
oils I would trust with internal use! Occasionally an oil will feel
"hot", if this happens, or you get an oil in your eye, add a carrier
oil to dilute it, NEVER water, remember oil and water don't mix! A good carrier
oil could be Young Living's V6 oil or something you cook with like olive or
coconut oil.

TIP 1:Thyme has been
used throughout history! It is a wonderful oil to support your immune and respiratory
system. Diffuse this oil when you start to feel a bit run down to
help your body fight harder.

TIP 2:This oil is used
in the Raindrop Technique. When used in Raindrop, this oil is applied NEAT,
meaning undiluted. This is one of the only times you will use Thyme undiluted.

TIP 3: Thyme oil is one of the most powerful antioxidants
known to man! Antioxidants protect your body from the free radicals that we
encounter in our lives.

TIP 4:OrthoEase is a
massage oil produced by Young Living. This oil contains Thyme oil and is
AMAZING after a hard workout or maybe a pulled muscle after
shoveling your driveway with all the wet snow you may have!

TIP 1:Geranium is a
beautiful floral scent that can be quite beneficial for those working on emotional work. TIP 2:This oil used has
been traditionally used to support the circulatory and nervous systems, and
a great deal of its strength lies in its ability to revitalize body tissues.TIP 3: A creative way to use this oil...or other
favorites...are as a deodorant. Commercial deodorants are filled with toxic chemicals
like aluminum and are best to be avoided if possible. Create your own deodorant
with essential oils! Put 1 ml of geranium oil into a 10ml bottle and then fill
the rest of the bottle with V6 oil. Then put a roller ball onto the top of the
bottle and you have a beautiful deodorant AND perfume all in one!TIP 4:Geranium is well
known for it's ability to soothe the skin of
various problems including itchiness from bug bites. TIP 5:This
oil is also known to be supportive of the endocrine system. For
females who suffer each month, rubbing a drop or two onto their lower abdomens
can bring some comfort to them.
